Well that's good for my Fantasy Team.

I'm shocked the jets didn't try to pawn off Gholston on the Browns.

Vernon, you should have stayed in school.

Not even the Browns are that stupid.

No, Gholston will be a Jet for a while longer, but after that he'll go to his true home:  The Silver and Black.

Hey Neil,  I ran into Marshal Yanda at the Sunoco this afternoon.  He was buying a shitload of Skoal.

He's a country boy alright.

Quote that made me chuckle about the Braylon Edwards trade: "Braylon Edwards has been traded to New York, apparently they needed someone to drop the ball for New Years."

Lulz.

I'm wondering how the Jets managed to figure out how Edwards--who had a scuffle the other night and can't apparently handle Cleveland's nightclub scene--will somehow be able to handle New York's nightlife.

Sheridan Line from Vegas:
Edwards punches a chick at a club: 5 to 1
Edwards gets drunk, tries to run over a traffic enforcement officer: 3 to 1
Edwards drops a pistol, shoots himself: Push

Going somewhere new will probably improve Edwards' game.  He'll be leaving behind a goofy coach who's lost the team, a starting QB who is wildly inconsistent, a 1st round backup QB whose arm can get the ball out to about eight yards, and a team that's going nowhere.  Not to mention the Browns front office.

Ravens' officiating disputes resolved
NFL doesn't fine team for criticisms of Patriots game

When the smoke finally cleared Wednesday on the brouhaha over the officiating in the Ravens- New England Patriots game, the Ravens got a measure of vindication, if not exactly the last word.

There will be no fines, which is a point for the Ravens.

Neither will there be any I-told-you-so's, which is coach John Harbaugh's way of ensuring a truce with the officials.

"It was back and forth," Harbaugh said of a two-day dialogue with NFL officials. "They confirmed everything, and we're not allowed to talk about any of that stuff. It's between the league and the team. And it's an opportunity for us to understand better, for them to understand better. When it's all said and done, we get better, the officiating gets better; that's all part of the process."

In the wake of a 27-21 loss to the Patriots, the Ravens were upset with where the ball was spotted on a number of occasions and with two personal foul, roughing-the passer penalties that appeared to give special consideration to quarterback Tom Brady. After suggesting the fouls were "embarrassing to the game," linebacker Ray Lewis escaped a fine for criticizing officials.

"It's a respect factor," Lewis said Wednesday about the absence of any fines. "Our league does a great job of controlling the outcomes of games and what goes on in between the lines. You can never discredit that. I think they understood where we were coming from. I think there is a great level of respect from both sides."

Ron Winter's officiating crew flagged the Ravens for nine penalties worth 85 yards. The Ravens had been penalized a total of 20 times in their first three games.

Nice.  Now if only the Raiders could do that.

Except he'll still keep dropping passes when the pressure is on. He needed to break one of his two left thumbs when he punched the guy.
